- Leave a comment (or email me at solittletimeforbooks@googlemail.com) with your name, email and book choice.
- Open to everyone The Book Depository delivers free to.
- Closes 11:59pm GMT on Tuesday 22nd June.

Extra entries:
- +3 Old follower (before 15th June)

Good luck, everyone!

    Ohhhh, Happy Birthday. But hey, maybe if it's your b-day Karma would be nice with you and you will ace the exam. ;) who knows? :))
    18 is a big age here, you are off age and supposedly and adult. Do you feel adulty?

    Ok, so I guess I'm in for entering.
